The Tomatin Distillery Co Ltd has today announced some exciting
new limited edition releases with a strong emphasis on Sherry.The Tomatin Cuatro Series presents four unique limited
edition expressions of Tomatin Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro - The New Tomatin Cuatro Series

All distilled on the same day, the whisky was matured for
nine years in traditional American Oak casks and was then transferred to four
different types of Sherry butts for a period of over three years. As a result
each of the four expressions have developed their own unique characteristics.
The range includes: Fino, Manzanilla, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. With its
Spanish sherry inspiration, the name “Cuatro” is fitting as the Spanish word
for “four”.Graham Eunson, Distillery Manager, launched the new release
with a Tweet Tasting hosted by Steve Rush of The Whisky Wire, this evening. Where
selected tasters were provided samples of each expression along with its
relevant Sherry. He said: “We are constantly striving to innovate and push
boundaries and I believe Cuatro is a great example of something yet again
different from Tomatin Distillery. Sherry is a key feature within our core
range and this limited series allows us to delve deeper into the different
effects it can have on our whisky.”There are 1500 bottles of each expression available and each
is expected to retail at £49.99.Staying with the Sherry theme, Tomatin has also added to its
Cù Bòcan brand range with a limited Sherry Cask edition. With the standard
edition comprising Sherry, Virgin Oak and Bourbon casks, this is the first of
three limited editions highlighting the flavours derived from each cask type.Fully matured in first fill Sherry butts, the Sherry edition
is rich and fruity with hints of smoke and paprika. There are only 6000 bottles
available and it is expected to retail at £49.99 in specialist retailers. The
further two limited editions will be released in 2015.Source: The Tomatin Distillery Co Ltd
